Does Global Error Handling and using Custom Error Pages take the place of wrapping code that you anticapate may cause an exception in a try catch block?
Not really; those are for unhandled exceptions (e.g. the ones you don't foresee) while try/catch blocks are for situations where you expect an error might occur which you can then handle gracefully (by retrying, by showing a message to the user and so on).
